Set in the rolling hills of Lombardy, L’Albereta Relais & Châteaux offers a refreshing escape from nearby Milan. This enchanting country retreat occupies a beautifully preserved late 19th-century private villa in Franciacorta — one of Italy’s most celebrated sparkling wine regions — and is just a short drive from the scenic shores of Lake Iseo. While L’Albereta has evolved into one of Italy’s most sought-after wine and wellness escapes, it still retains the warmth and character of a country house.
Its 53 individually designed rooms and suites are colorful and country-chic, reinforcing the sense that you’re staying in a much-loved family home. Spend your days exploring nearby wineries and castles, horseback riding or golfing, before returning to dine on regional Lombard cuisine. The property also offers an open-air gallery of contemporary sculptures, a pool tucked into the vineyards, a kids’ club and a renowned Chenot Espace medical spa — the first one in Italy.
